We had some conversation going on about the future of this blog. Shall I keep this? Shall we maintain this? Or actually I should return this blog to Nic?
His latest blog is Nov last year. Abandon it for almost 4 months. However, I shouldn't complain much since I am not that active either.
What shall I update? My life? Not much different. The only thing is I am getting more and more adapt to the life at Shanghai. My circle of friends are expanding. No longer only colleagues now. After join the volleyball with some expatriates at SH, I make friends with them. Besides, the few Malaysian which I met over here are nice to hang out together as well. We looked for Malaysian food together, mock at China Chinese, complained about whey there are so many Singaporean restaurant but not Malaysian restaurant and etc.
Inner me? I am getting more stubborn and live my own way lately. Back to the same old me. Someone who don't bother about how other people think or look at me. I just finish a book by Haruki Murakami. When he received the Jerusalem Prize, he said: " Between a high, solid wall and an egg that break against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg."
Haruki Murakami is trying to say that each of us is an egg and we shall not be afraid to confront the high wall or the system. But in my definition, I would rather to define the wall as the society or the norm. Lady Gaga said "born this way". For me, it means we should live our life for our self. With no fear and no need to meet other's people perspective
Lately, many people around had passed away. My aunt, my colleague's father, grandfather, or grandmother. Shanghai has a big fire last year, it took away 53 life in one fire. The rate of divorce at SiChuan increase dramatically after the earthquake. Grey's Anatomy Season 6 last episode is a big mass murder in the Seattle Hospital. And Christina Yang decided to walk down the aisle after she survive from the incident. Everyone might leave this world by tomorrow or even the next second.
I saw many of my friend are getting married lately. Kam said that he got 60+ couples of friend who tie the knot in these 2 years. I wish that I can be a normal girl who able to feel peer pressure or age or whatever it is. With these pressures, it can makes a girl to settle down or start considering of getting marriage. But that is just not me. Since young, I always do the thing I want. I wear cloth or fashion that I want. Buy stuff that only I feel it is nice.
What I am trying to say here is, live the way you want. Life is short, too short for you to live yourself for other person. Why shall we achieve all the target other people want us to be? Why shall we do things that other people want us to do? Why shall I live the way other people want me to live as?
I used to live my own way of life for a very long period of time. But, I was lost once. I wish that I can find back my own path, walk on the rest of my destiny with my way. Feels like walking over the cloud. I can see the shine from the sun. =)
ps: By the way, I am leaving on the jetplane tomorrow. Going back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year holiday. Keep finger cross that shanghai won't be snow. And my plane can depart on time.

usher this rabbit year in good health,peace,harmony n a joyful life!
CL, i hope you will keep blogging here (i don't see this as nic's blog anyway). Haha.
I agree with most of what you posted - yes, life is short and you should live life the way you intended it to be. Never do things for others, but on the same vein, never 'don't do things' simply because you want to be a rebel. :D Life is too short for take 2 in some cases.
ps: i love haruki murakami - which is the book you read?
